- Air Bag Service Parts Inflator. Recall 22E066000 covers 375 vehicles and involves replacement inflators installed during theft or collision repairs. These inflators may explode after exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, risking serious injury or death from metal fragments. Dealers will inspect and replace defective inflators free of charge with owner notifications starting September 14, 2022.
- Passenger Air Bag Inflator Re-inspection. Recall 20V747000 affects 3,930 vehicles where previously inspected Takata inflators may not have been replaced. Continued use risks inflator explosion with sharp metal fragments hitting occupants during crashes. Owners are warned not to drive their vehicles until repairs are complete. Dealers will re-inspect and replace the inflator as needed for free. The recall started January 22, 2021.
- Non-Desiccated Interim Inflators. Recall 20V008000 involves 307,962 vehicles with interim air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant that degrade over time.

Please see Nissan's recall report for the specific part numbers. These replacement inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

AIR BAGS
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2002-2006 Sentra vehicles whose passenger air bags were previously inspected and may have been released without replacing the Takata air bag inflator. In the event of a crash, Takata frontal passenger air bag inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2001-2003 Maxima, 2002-2006 Sentra, 2002-2004 Pathfinder, 2007-2011 Versa Sedan and Versa Hatchback, 2001-2004 Infiniti I30 and I35, 2002-2003 Inifiniti QX4, 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 and 2006-2010 M35 and M45 vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
